egypt is absolutely a key player in this. right now it's new muslim brotherhood president, morsi, appears to be playing both sides. he has reportedly quietly given the green light to his intelligence services to put pressure on hamas to scale back on those rocket attacks, while publicly he is sending his prime minister to the gaza strip tomorrow in what will clearly be a show of solidarity with the palestinians. now, the egyptian calculation may be that by having their prime minister there, they will cause a pause in the fighting because israel will be reluctant to carry on with the air strikes and launch any kind of ground invasion while such a high ranking egyptian politician is there. that might, of course, help the palestinians. on the other hand, any pause in the fighting also gives a little more time for diplomacy to start work. but watching what egypt's leaders say and do in the next few days is going to be key in what happens next in this very tense situation. shep. >> shep: indeed. jonathan hunt. israeli officials ar

of the ongoing peace between egypt and israel? is that at risk? >> it's very much at risk. i think that, look, the egyptian public wants their now democratically elected government to do something, to show some kind of strength, to show that they will not acquiesce in the israelis beating up palestinians. so far the egyptian government has not responded to its people, but after awhile a democratically elected government can't keep saying no to its own people. >> when the ambassador said just now, listen, we left gaza and they should have had prosperity and everything else and they've ruined it and gone to terrorism, it seemed to me a pretty simplistic view of what's happened on gaza. gaza is to many people one of the key problems in the region because of the terrible oppression and whatever the right phrase is for it of the palestinian people. it's an awful place for people to try and live, isn't it? >> first one has to say as you did, the israelis are justified in doing something when all these rockets are being fired at them. so

israel said it would stop its air strikes on gaza while egypt's prime minister visited. we expected a truce of around three hours. but it's very clear, now, that that has not happened. we've heard and felt the thuds of israeli strikes continue on the gaza strip. our gaza producer reported that two palestinians were killinged in the strikes, several were wounded. but the condition for this truce was that palestinian militants would stop firing on to southern israel. and they did not do that. we have seen ourselves, from right near our hotel, they are firing rockets. you hear the loud whoosh, the long vapor trails and the clouds of smoke. any talk of a truce is incorrect. >> what is the feeling you're getting? could israel send in ground troops? >> reporter: well, from the very beginning they talked about enlarging this operation. from the aerial offensive it's been so far, to include a ground invasion of gaza. yesterday, we saw large numbers of troops and tanks moving towards gaza. this morning, we heard that 16,000 reservists have been called up. this is the political se
